This battery will power my Dell XPS M1330 but the windows battery meter says "no battery detected." Is this normal for a non OEM battery?

You may want to contact the seller. I didnt have such issues. You may have already done this, but to double check unplug the power cord just to make sure the battery is working.

I can't speak to what is normal, but we have the same laptop and have had two of these batteries and never had the problem you are describing.

It is labeled "Dell Inc", "Dell battery module" as shown in the picture. I haven't had any issues with it that I've experienced with 3rd party batteries in the past, e.g., not fitting correctly or life shorter than expected. It's solid.

This appears to be the battery I bought, buy my model is SCD510. It did make the monitors work like brand new!

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525. I bought my battery for this type of computer. I also ordered a new charger as well, It works great after I charged my computer for 24 hrs. You may need to buy another charger. Did you charge yours????

I purchased that battery for my Dell 5010 and it is working great (four months now) The only problem I have had - and it's minor- is that occasionally when i recharge, I get a message that the computer can't "read" the battery number and to replace with a dell battery. I unplug and replug it in and it starts charging no problem. That's happened about 5 times in 4 months. so not really a big deal.

There may be two separate issues with the system. You may have had a bad power supply from the beginning, and the new replacement battery cant get a charge from the faulty power supply any better than the original. My Dell 6400 did put-up the message about not recognizing the battery, but the battery works and recharges fine in spite of the message.

I am not too sure, you first need to find out which one is the main battery for the laptop. Do a little research for it first, or write Dell. My laptop only had one battery so I did not have to worry... Hope this helps. Check out my website and link to it if you can sometime,,, http://www.partyhousesupplies.com/

Correct. The battery I received was not a Dell battery and my computer did not recognize it.

Its been a while sense i last looked at it, and it is in my daughters laptop. I believe it is a after market battery, but it has fit as if it was a Dell and for a whole lot less. but if anyone wants to spend the extra money for a real Dell don't let me stop you.

Claudio ... I have the same problem .. I purchased 2 new batteries and a new charger ... it's the computer and it could be several different things .. one is the board ... I have mine totally apart ... if I can figure anything out I'll let you know ... there is a test dell says you can run but you need a charged battery to perform the test ... that figures ... if you find out how to charge the battery without it in the laptop let me know !!!

Normal because that battery is not the battery of that laptop. I bought the same but threw it to the wastebasket. Useless

I believe it to be by Dell. It worked just fine for me. It removed all warnings about a dying battery. I haven't had any problems with it. And yes it fully charges. Also, I haven't seen any red "X" when charging. No, sir. Hope this put your mind at ease. :)

I bought this power supply for a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. And it is working fine on it. So, if in the description online it is shown as a replacement for an Inspiron 1501, and I had one, I would have bought it. After responding initially, I saw a reply that said it wouldn't charge the battery. On my 1525 it is charging both the original battery and a replacement battery fine.

I don't know, my problem is apparently not the battery but a flaw in the circuitry that should uses power but notifies me that the battery is low. The new battery didn't change anything and after talking to Dell I resolved to never buy another Dell product.

I don't think it is an actual Dell battery even though it's advertised as such. I've had mine for a few months now and it seems to hold a charge as well as the original battery did.

Yes it is. Popped the old Dell original battery (about three or four years old) and popped in this one. Just be aware that this battery (9 cell) is larger, depth wise, than the original (6 cell). So, your computer sits up about a half inch in the back. Others mentioned that if one is concerned about the laptop depth being exactly flat, this adds an extra 1/2" of depth. I like it because it allows for better air flow and I notice that the fan runs less, so less noise and less heat build-up. I very much like the extra charging capacity. If you do the charge - discharge to 7% - recharge cycle three times the resultant battery life is a few hours (depending on usage) rather than a couple of hours (depending on usage) with the OEM battery. In short (or a little long) I'd buy another one in an instant if I needed one. Way less than Dell wants for a six cell.

I purchased this battery for my Dell laptop and it came with all the same Dell logos and marks as the original. It has been working great even was recognized by the OS as a new battery and reset the annoying pop-up about the life of the battery has ended blah blah blah.
